Start with a Zanpakuto and build the strongest Mist Village

Chapter 76 He is old
Terrifying chakra surged from Sarutobi Hiruzen's body. The anger of this powerful ninja, who was still at the end of his prime, made Danzo consciously shut his mouth and lower his head.

After a long time, Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice slowly sounded.

"Where is Mizuno Yue Yeto? Have you confirmed his whereabouts?!"

"……nor."

Feeling Hiruzen's murderous gaze, Danzo whispered, "We launched a full-scale bombardment with Kirigakure. After both sides' positions were completely annihilated, Mizunoe Tsukiyomi and Minato Kushina fought once and then disappeared."

"According to current predictions, he should be covering the remaining Kirigakure forces and returning to Kirigakure."

"Speculation?!"

A mobile disaster that has mastered space-time ninjutsu and has the ability to unleash large-scale ninjutsu, and you tell me you can't even determine his location and can only rely on speculation?!
If the opponent appears in the Konoha position in the Iwagakure battlefield, or even appears directly in the Konoha Village, then what's the point of playing!
Sarutobi Hiruzen only felt that his three corpse gods were beating wildly and he was even about to have high blood pressure.

Sensing that his old friend was about to go berserk, Danzo said repeatedly, "Minato left the Flying Thunder God Mark on him, which can sense Mizunoe Tsukiyo's position to a certain extent."

It's useless. They have mastered the space-time ninjutsu. By the time they sense it, the disaster may have already happened!

"No, we can't keep fighting that guy."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anger. "Given Konoha's current situation, we can no longer send out more troops to face other large ninja villages. Send the ninja swords back to them and tell them that we are willing to negotiate and can even compensate Kirigakure for its losses to a certain extent."

"Negotiation? And compensation for the losses? No way!"

Danzo's voice suddenly rose: "Huruzen, although we suffered heavy losses, the situation in Kirigakure is even worse than ours. They can mobilize fewer troops than us! Why should we negotiate with them and take the initiative to compensate for their losses? What about our losses!"

"Just because they have a Mizunozuki night!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said angrily: "Do you think I don't want to fight? Do you think there is no anger and rage in my heart? Shinnosuke is dead, do you understand?"

"I want to kill all the ninjas in Kirigakure, but tell me how to limit that guy Mizunoe Tsukiyomi! Konoha no longer has the capital to fight, you know!"

The extreme excitement made the blood on Sarutobi Hiruzen's forehead swell, but in the end, he could only sit back on his own Hokage position like a deflated ball.

"The Daimyo sent a message yesterday saying that due to our defeat on the battlefield, bandits, thieves, and wandering ninjas have appeared in many places in the Land of Fire. The Daimyo's guardian ninjas have suffered casualties. We cannot continue to prolong this war."

"The Kirigakure side must be stabilized. Only when the Kirigakure side is stabilized can we devote ourselves to the battlefield of the Iwagakure and better deal with Ōnoki!"

"……I see."

In this world, the daimyo is not a nominal ruler who "rules but does not govern", but the actual head of state.

Although it is outrageous to let a good-for-nothing noble rule and have the power of life and death over a group of extraordinary individuals who can fly into the sky and into the ground, this is the way the world is.

The daimyo not only possessed the highest administrative and military power, but also had the right to freely appoint "shadow".

In exchange, the daimyo would provide the ninja village with protection from attacks or invasions by other countries, as well as financial and material assistance.

Since the outbreak of the Ninja War, the daimyo has supplied Konoha with a large amount of money and supplies. This is one of the reasons why Konoha has been able to survive until now in a one-on-many battle.

Danzo Shimura took a deep breath. If even the daimyo did not support the war, then for now he could only negotiate with Kirigakure.

"I will send an invitation to the Third Mizukage to cease fire and negotiate peace, and try to reach an agreement in the shortest possible time." Sarutobi Hiruzen said in a deep voice: "How many of your roots are there?"

“Less than one third…”

In order to be able to hunt the night, Danzo directly took away two-thirds of the elites of the Root, but they were all lost, and even he himself almost stayed there.

Such a huge root now has only a few big cats and small cats left in Konoha, which can be said to be seriously damaged.

"Less than one third? Send them to the front line and let Orochimaru take command to gather more intelligence."

"Okay." "You are injured too, take a good rest for two days and recuperate."

"Yes."

This time, Danzo didn't yell. He knew very well that if he hadn't underestimated Mizunoe's fighting ability, nothing would have turned out like this.

After handing over the rights of the Root, Danzo left the Hokage's office with a cane.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was sitting in the position of Hokage, remained silent. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at a photo frame in the corner.

In the photo frame, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's smile is very bright under the afterglow of the setting sun.

But as the sun set, that brilliant smile was covered with a layer of dimness.

"Shinnosuke……"

A low murmur came from Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth, tired and sad. He slumped powerlessly in the position of Hokage, as if all the strength had been drained away from him. He didn't even have the courage to bring the photo frame back to the sunlight.

He is old.

……

"Hey, Obito~"

"I have some interesting news for you, Obito~"

Ah Fei emerged from the rock wall and shouted in a strange tone like a naughty child at the young man who was practicing in the dim underground cave.

Uchiha Obito practiced without looking back until A Fei came in front of him chattering. The black stick condensed in his hand was almost sticking to A Fei's face and deeply embedded in the wall behind him.

"Wow! How scary, how scary! Damn you, Obito! I brought you information with good intentions, and you treated me like this..."

"Okay, A Fei, now is not the time to play around...if you have any new information, just tell me."

A fierce murderous aura burst out from the blood-red Sharingan, making the shouting Ah Fei's voice become smaller and smaller. It was Uchiha Madara on the side who took the initiative to speak up to help.

"You have such a sour face all day long...Okay, okay, let's talk about the battle situation between Konoha and Kirigakure."

"Minato Namikaze brought the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki and directly hurt each other with Mizunoe Tsukiyomi, and both sides completely destroyed the other's camp..."

After muttering a few words, Ah Fei felt the murderous intent coming over him. He quickly shrank his head, only daring to show half of his head above the ground. Then he extremely quickly told the latest information he had collected.

"Both sides will suffer losses. This is a really foolish strategy."

Uchiha Obito sneered, but Uchiha Madara beside him raised his head slightly, with a serious look in his eyes.

"You just said that Mizunoe Yoru froze the entire Konoha camp by himself?"

"Yes, yes, he froze all of Misawa Bridge, Kazama Wade, and the Ohami Shirasato Mine. It was so cold, so cold, so cold. All of the Konoha ninjas inside were frozen to death!"

Ah Fei shouted, and shuddered as he spoke, as if he was in the ice and snow himself.

"How could he have killed so many people..."

Madara murmured, his three-magatama Sharingan flashing red beneath his pale hair.

"This time, I'm afraid there will be some trouble."
